I'm a software engineer. I build my own products and I ship them: native iOS apps, the web apps and AI pipelines behind them, and the tooling that lets one person run all of it.
I also write. Dead Reckoning is my Substack, where I take on politics, economics, and constitutional questions, argued from the primary sources and stated plainly.
And I'm learning Ancient Greek, starting from the alphabet.
Projects
Gainplate
On the App StoreiOS · SwiftUI
A protein-first meal picker for people who lift. Set your bodyweight once and it picks a day of meals that hits your protein target, then turns the ingredients into a grocery order at the store you already use. No accounts, no ads.
Clipfire
In developmentNext.js · iOS · AI pipeline
Turns long-form video into clips ready for Reels, Shorts, and TikTok, picked and scored by AI. The point is to publish without ever opening an editor.

In developmentiOS · Android · Kotlin Multiplatform
A city guide that ranks what's worth doing right now instead of listing everything there is to do. Native on both platforms with a shared Kotlin core. New York first.
